Bluesky Deletes AI Protest Video of Trump Sucking Musk's Toes, Calls It 'Non-Consensual Explicit Material'

The only control is the ruling class over the working class. I don’t think that’s a great achievement.
That's a result of systems like capitalism, not democracy in itself.
Read up a little about the concept of democracy (and what isn't part of it) and come back to the discussion.

True democracy, or majoritarianism?

Dude, you do realize I didn't endorse centralized moderation with a single word, let alone social algorithms or any of the other trash? I'm just not ignorant enough to believe the internet wouldn't become an utter pile of trash without any kind of moderation of oversight, especially with such an abundance of ways to spread nonsense fully automatically. Want to get a glimpse of how that would look like? Look at Nostr.
Given you're literally starting off with ad hominem any discussion with you is pointless anyway though. -
It is, for them.
Fucking delusional you think this is making them sweat at all
-
You needlessly choose to take offence

I feel like it’s a balancing act and you can’t make everyone happy. I, personally, don’t hang around unmoderated communities because they are often worse: hostile, full of spam and questionable content… so basically /b/. But even 4chan is moderated to an extent shrug

They're widespread varieties of moderation taken to natural limits.
And they highlight the weaknesses of thinking that approach will save us when they're often blamed for doing the opposite.Clearly, you disagree with that kind of moderation, so maybe you should "no true Scotsman" this & define precise boundaries of moderation you accept.
The only type of moderation I might accept is the minimal necessary for legal compliance & labeling that allows the user to filter content themselves.become an utter pile of trash
abundance of ways to spread nonsense fully automatically
Matter of perspective: that "trash" we had before was beautiful.
Sifting & picking through it wasn't much of a problem.
Despite the low moderation, the nonsense didn't really spread & the fringe groups mostly kept to their odd sites when they weren't being ridiculed.Look at Nostr.
Also beautiful: beats bluesky & mastodon.
Given you’re literally starting off with ad hominem
Let's add hypercritical to the list.
I disagree with the alarmism over images & text on a screen, and I disagree with the infantilization of adults.
Adults still think and are responsible for exercising judgment in the information they consume.
Expressions alone do nothing until people choose to do something. -
No, they literally make a choice to make it about being gay and I honestly don't think that many people even thought about that aspect. I don't even know that they aren't gay for all I know, I don't care.

Queer and trans friends of mine were also laughing their asses off at this video....
And yes, calling out Trump as being the "beta cuck" to Elon DOES cause discomfort for a narcissist like Melania's husband.
And it's the sort of thing to push, to cause fractures in the white house.

The fact that a .world is aruging to use this weird homophobic video as a protest is just proving your point.
It's like how people think sharing that one image of Putin with drag make up is somehow a Gotcha to Putin, who probably doesn't even care. Wow, ya sure showed that dictator by posting a meme that uses gay stereotypes!
-
Yeah, .world gonna .world

Thank you for your thoughtful and considered comment, which definitely did not strawman my rather mild position or blow it out of proportion at all.
Also this wasn’t meant to be a “save the children” argument. Screw that. Can’t I just be uncomfortable with something and express it without people acting like I’m a puritan wanting to ban porn?

You're the one who used the loaded, connotative "porn" word first bud. To recap, I disagreed with your flippant, facile use of the word in this particular instance. We all know what porn is when we see it, and that wasnt it.
Sometimes when you try to jump the shark you fall short. Now you know.
